Safe Operating Practices
Test your hose connections for gas leaks
Gas leaks are a serious issue that can be easily avoided by doing a quick and
simple leak check annually, or whenever gas components are replaced or
serviced.
1. Ensure that all grill control knobs are in the off position.
2. Turn on the fuel supply,
For Natural Gas
Turn the valve handle 1/4 turn to align with the gas flow.
3. Brush or spray a half-and-half solution of liquid soap and water onto all
joints and connections of the regulator, hose, manifolds and valves.
4. Bubbles will indicate a gas leak. IMMEDIATELY turn off the gas supply
and do not use the grill until contacting a licensed gas fitter to replace
faulty parts.
The leak test must be done before initial use, annually, and whenever any gas components are replaced or serviced.
Do not smoke while performing this test and remove all sources of ignition. See Leak Testing Diagram for areas to
check. Never conduct a leak test using fire or flame. Sparks or open flames will result in a fire or explosion, damage to
property, serious bodily injury or death.

Regularly clean the grill components to prevent
flare-ups and grease fires
Just like the cooking appliances in your home, your NewAge Grill needs to be
regularly cleaned and maintained to operate at peak performance. This not
only produces tastier, healthier food, but it reduces the chance of dangerous
flare-ups or grease fires.
Here are the key areas to keep clean:
1. Remove cooking grates and scrape excess food particles with a BBQ brush
after every use. For a deep clean, soak and scrub with dish soap and water a
few times per season.
2. Pull out the grease tray after every use and scrape off any grease or food
chunks. Wash with dish soap and water to keep it clean.
3. Your briquette trays will accumulate a lot of burnt on sauces and grease
drippings. Remove residue from the tray with a scraper, and use a wire
brush to clear debris from the briquettes.
4. Burners that aren't used frequently can get blocked by spiders who are
drawn to the gas smell, and build webs inside the burner tubes. Use a wire-
brush to clean the inside of the burners and remove debris from the outside
of the burners.
5. Scrape down the interior of your burner box at least once a season to re-
move carbon build-up. Scoop or vacuum out the debris, reinstall all compo-
nents and enjoy a much cleaner grilling experience.
